Ahmet Tunç

Ahmet Tunç from Ankara, a student at Bilkent University and a volunteer at AIESEC Turkey, was supported with the travel grant to visit Yerevan, for taking part in an AIESEC Armenia event on raising awareness on intercultural learning among high school students.

The normalization and development of Turkey’s relations with its ‘most distant’ neighbour Armenia is the aim of the Foundation. The Foundation’s work in this field is based on the principle that can be described as ‘The border will first be opened in our minds’. As Hrant Dink Foundation, we’ll encourage direct contact in all fields between the two countries in collaboration with the civil society of both countries, independent of the political developments.

The Turkey-Armenia Travel Grant and the Turkey-Armenia Fellowship Scheme are financed by the European Union, within the framework of the programme Support to the Armenia-Turkey Normalisation Process.

Turkey-Armenia Travel Grant, in 2017-2019, is implemented by the Hrant Dink Foundation in partnership with Gyumri Youth Initiative Centre with the support of the UK Government’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund.
